House For Sale £65,000
Bridge Of Walls, Shetland ZE2


Description
Overview
Two bedroom detached property with a large attached byre, set in an attractive, sparsely populated rural location on Shetland's sunny west side close to the shore of the voe of Seli Voe. Walls 5 miles; Bixter 5 miles; Lerwick 26 miles.

In addition to the two bedrooms, the single storey accommodation which enjoys fine views over the voe, currently comprises a spacious living room, kitchen, shower room and utility area although significant refurbishment is required to bring it up to a habitable standard which is reflected in the price.

The byre offers possible potential for extending the property or perhaps providing a separate annex or office (subject to consents).

General Information
'Setter' is situated on the 'sunny' west side of Shetland about equidistant from Bixter to the east and Walls to the west, the property being located in a sparsely populated rural area overlooking the Voe of Seli Voe with only a handful of houses nearby.

Amenities in the area can be found at either Walls or Bixter both about 5 miles away, Walls having a local shop & bakery (with fuel), post office, primary school, health centre, marina & boating club whilst Bixter which lies back towards Lerwick has another local shop & post office (again with fuel pumps), another health centre, vet & garage. 3 miles north of Bixter is Aith, the location of the West Mainland’s Junior High School and leisure centre / swimming pool.
